You may wonder what the connection between the city of Baltimore and our national border is since Baltimore is not a border city. Ill tell you: Elijah Cummings.
Elijah Cummings is a politician currently serving in his 13
th term in the U.S. House of Representatives having served since 1996. His district includes the Maryland counties of Baltimore and Howard. He previously served in the Maryland House of Delegates. He is a member of the Democratic Party and current chair of the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
As any career politician seeking re-election Mr. Cummings puts on shows in the House as he did on July 16 2019. During a congressional hearing on The Trump Administrations Child Separation Policy" Cummings took Kevin McAleenan the acting Homeland Security Secretary to task for the way illegal immigrant children are treated in detention centers.
You feel like youre doing a great job right?" Cummings asked McAleenan.
Were doing our level best in a very challenging situation" McAleenan said.
What does that mean?" Cummings said raising his voice and interrupting McAleenan.
What does that mean when a child is sitting in their own feces cant take a shower?" irrupted Cummings. Come on man. Whats that about?"

Cummings didnt yell at his four female colleagues in the Squad" when the four Democrats voted against a border funding bill causing problems with the leadership of their own party.
Cummings didnt shout at the parents for dragging their children and babies 2000-plus miles from Central America in the burning heat.
Also Cummings didnt scream at the smugglers for dumping the children into the care of U.S. Border Patrol.
The Trump administration has been very blunt about the border crisis when the overwhelming flow of migrants overran the border and burned through our resources. But Cummings was busy denying there was ever a crisis. Now he can scream all he wants about the border facilities. Refusing to change the immigration laws that let everyone pass the southern border and then ask for free care is only Cummings fault as well as every other Democrats.
So weve established that Cummings is very passionate about the illegals.
Lets get now to the second issue. Cummings passion for his Baltimore residents. His district includes half of Baltimore City most of the majority-black precincts of Baltimore County and most of Howard County.
With racial unrest poverty crime and drug addition
Baltimore has long been among the most widely cited cases of urban decay in post-industrial America. So its hardly shocking that Baltimore especially the Baltimore ghetto has lost 35 percent of its population since 1945. What is left is a city littered with deserted streets corroded factories and thousands of vacant row houses that look like oversized tombstones.
When will Cummings be cumming" again to help the residents that he represents in the abandoned wasteland that Baltimore has become?

You feel like youre doing a great job right Cummings? Come on man. Whats that about?
When you hear Democrats fake indignation over migrant detention facilities you know that they wont fix it but blame it on someone else.
Elijah Cummings is the weakest link of Baltimore. Hes nothing but a political hack.
